Draft Grade — Eagles
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Eagles won the night they stopped McClellan from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jase McClellan at the 243rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Value with a capital V on Xavier Worthy in pick No. 54, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Good price on Ja'Tavion Sanders in Round 2, Pick 25, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No edge and no loss on Marist Liufau in the 88th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Booker well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and McCallan Castles at the 163rd overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 178 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Circle this one: Jase McClellan at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
